Produktinformationen zu „Foul Deeds Around Crewe (ePub)“
True accounts of crime and conspiracy over the centuries in this English railway town, from highway robberies to modern-day homicides-includes photos.
Foul Deeds Around Crewe takes the reader on a fascinating journey through centuries of local crime and conspiracy, meeting villains of all sorts along the way-casual killers and robbers, murderous husbands and lovers, prostitutes and poisoners. This revealing book recalls many grisly events and sad or unsavory individuals whose conduct throws a harsh light on the history of Crewe and the surrounding countryside.
Among the many acts of wickedness the authors recall are shocking crimes from the recent past-the daughter who poisoned her father, a murder in a stately home, two brothers who conspired to kill their father, a mysterious ritual drowning, and the killing of a policeman. But they also cover in vivid detail the early criminal history of the area-the theft of sheep, cattle, and horses, crop-wrecking, rural assaults, land disputes, poaching, and highway robbery. The ruthless punishments meted out to convicted criminals-public humiliation, imprisonment, the death penalty-are an essential part of the story. This chronicle of Crewe's hidden history-the history the town would prefer to forget-will be compelling reading for anyone who is interested in the dark side of human nature.
